scarf: from Italy  // shirt: Zara (similar here) // jeans: Old Navy // shoes: Luca Stefani (similar here) // bag: Zara // watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs 

A simple all white look needs a few subtle details to make it a bit more interesting. A scarf and shoes can always do the trick! I decided on a smaller scarf since my shirt is oversized, and tied it as a loose neckerchief. Effortless, polished and ready for Spring!

leather jacket: ASOS // tee: Zara // jeans: Armani Exchange // bag: Prada (similar here) // hat: Acne // boots: Bocage (similar here) // shades: Marc by Marc Jacobs

The transition from Winter to Spring clothing is always the most challenging for me. I want so badly to wear all the lightweight fabrics and fresh colors, but it’s still too cold! This Spring has been especially difficult since the temperatures are still around 30° most days. So, I opted for a lighter jacket and beanie. I found this tee at Zara a while back and decided to keep it simple and stick to a cooler palette. But how fun will this tee look with a pair of jean shorts and slip-on sneakers?! Someday, right?

overalls: Zara // sweater: Bar III (similar here)// tee: Old Navy // bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs  // shoes: Zara (similar here)  // shades: Marc by Marc Jacobs 

Ok, so overalls are back!  They seem to come and go out of style every few years; glad they’re back! As I mentioned here, this pair has been on my Spring/Summer must-have list. They are a great alternative to a pair of jeans and have a relaxed fit. I also love the tapered legs, it’s perfect for cuffing and wearing with a sandal or sneaker.

Jeans, loafers, and a blazer are the perfect pieces for casual chic. I like the oversized fit and cut of this blazer; perfect for adding interest to any look. And the abstract floral print on my loafers is just the right amount of color. Here’s to another warm (45°) day in Chicago!!
